<META name=Generator content="Microsoft SafeHTML">Hi, I would like to take the time to introduce seatconcepts.com. We are offering high quality seating kits for dual-sport bikes at an affordable price point. Although Seatconcepts.com is new on the market, the parent company was started over 8 years ago because of our involvement in vintage motocross. We quickly grew to include ATV seating applications and worked with Quadtech-ATV.com to manufacture and develop their line of seats. They have quickly become the industry leader in ATV seating and get rave reviews for their seats in all the major ATV publications and forums everywhere. So after getting the bug for dual-sport and adventure riding, one thing became apparent. The typical seat on the typical dual-sport bike is not made for 200 mile, or even 100 mile days in the saddle. So the need was seen for quality dual-sport seating with affordable pricing. Our seats are molded using our own proprietary polyurethane formulas. Each new model is extensively tested to ensure the proper density and resiliency for a comfortable and long lasting seat. We also offer softer and firmer options for all seats. New models are being added all the time. Please visit seatconcepts.com for the current up to date product list and coming soon. Don't see your bike on either list, contact us to see if we are working on it. Or feel free to start up an interest list in this thread. Our kits are DIY, do it yourself! This allows a considerable cost savings to the customer as they reuse their existing seat pan and install the foam and cover themselves, or send it to us and for a small fee we will install it for you.This allows us to be close to half the expense of comparable products. We are getting rave reviews here on ADV-Rider, Thumpertalk and other message boards for our comfort, quality and value. We are a small company but are BIG on CUSTOMER SERVICE! So please contact us with your concerns both before and after the sale for prompt and courteous service. Finally we are certified bike nuts with over 45 years combined riding/racing experience in everything from vintage mx to GNCC to Baja. Thanks, hope to see you on the trail! Lendon and Robert

Katie's Law may go nationwide soon
U.S. Senate passes Katie Sepich Enhanced DNA Collection Act
The U.S. Senate passed the Katie Sepich Enhanced DNA Collection Act of 2012.
The bill was named after New Mexico State University graduate student, Katie Sepich, who was brutally raped and murdered in 2003. Her killer, Gabriel Avila, was not identified when he was arrested in 2003 for unrelated crimes.
"After Katy was killed, she fought so hard for her life that she had the blood and skin of the man that killed her under finger nails," Katie mother, Jayann Sepich, said in a phone interview.
Police used that DNA to track down Avila, but it took three years of waiting until Avila was a convicted felon.
The goal of "Katie's Law" is to encourage states to implement a DNA collection process that collects DNA from people that have been arrested for felonies.
"It should be used just like a fingerprint," said Sepich, who has been instrumental in getting the law passed. "It identifies criminals who are perpetrating horrible crimes sooner rather than later."
New Mexico is the sixth state in the country to implement the law. Twenty-five states have passed laws similar to "Katie's Law."
'Katie's La passed in the U.S. House of Representatives on December 18, 2012, and will be sent to the president for his signature.
Katie Sepich would have been 32 years old on December 27, 2012.

Working Well with Parents
Reaching today's parents takes creativity and flexibility.
Picture it: a teacher sits alone in an empty classroom, watching the time tick by, wondering what went wrong. Packets were sent home, phone calls were made, emails were sent—cookies were even baked! But despite it all, not a single parent showed.
Being stood up on Back to School Night can feel like being jilted by your senior prom date, or worse. When attempts to engage parents fail, it can make you feel like a failure as a teacher.
"Parent engagement is central to education," says Nitzah Santiago-McRae, a student member of the Pennsylvania State Education Association and senior at Millersville University in central Pennsylvania. "They are the ones who will continue teaching their children long after they're out of my class or anyone else's. Education must be teamwork between parents and teachers."
Santiago-McRae hasn't yet begun her classroom career, but she's already gone a long way to encourage parental involvement in her own community. On Halloween day last fall, when most families were carving pumpkins and preparing costumes, Santiago-McRae helped organize an event that drew 75 parents of students in the Reading, Pennsylvania, school district to a Mennonite Church where her father is pastor.
The event, a training seminar for parents of special education students called "Together in Support of Our Exceptional Children," was designed to inform parents about the role and importance of the IEP, or Individualized Education Program. The highlight of the event was a series of seven mock IEP scenarios in which members of the Reading Education Association acted out common situations—and conflicts—that sometimes occur between parents and educators during the meetings.
"There are times when [parents and teachers] may not see eye to eye on everything, but it's important to communicate in a way that benefits the child," says Santiago-McRae. "Many parents aren't informed of these services or about the procedures and their rights in an IEP meeting, and at times, it can be very confusing. In our mock IEP meetings, we demonstrated to the parents and educators how an IEP meeting should and should not work."
The city of Reading has a large Hispanic population, and most of the parents at the event were from Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico. Santiago-McRae, a junior majoring in elementary and special education, realized that many of these parents had no idea how to advocate for their special education children, or even that they have the imperative and the right to do so.
It's not an uncommon situation. Never before have our schools been more ethnically diverse, and never before has engaging parents been more of a challenge. It's not because parents don't care or don't want to become involved—it's because reaching parents today takes more than sending home a flyer, making an occasional phone call, and holding a Back to School Night. It takes creativity and flexibility.
The event in Reading, for example, was held on a Saturday when many of the parents were free from work. It included lunch as well as child care for those with young children, and the presentations were translated into Spanish for non-English speaking parents.
"Each one of us is different, so our methods of communication and education should reflect that rich diversity," says Santiago-McRae.
Bob Munoz, a sixth-grade teacher in Reno, Nevada, agrees. He's been engaging parents for 34 years, even in a school where students speak 16 different languages. He says teachers need to experiment with new ways to involve parents.
"Encourage your parents to visit the school whenever they want to," he says. "We've had parents come in and help set up and clean the cafeteria after lunch, or coach soccer games during recess. I've also set up a day each month to meet different parents for coffee before I arrive at school, which gives me an opportunity to visit with parents in a more informal setting. It's a tremendous ice-breaker and allows parents to see you as a person and not just as a professional."
Munoz also attends all school functions, especially if he knows his students' parents will be there. "I sit and talk to them, and eventually we become acquainted."
By doing more than sending the odd email or making the occasional phone call, Munoz has earned the trust of his students' parents, and he says word travels fast. When parents know who you are and that you can be relied upon, they tell other parents, and soon "your reputation as a great role model and teacher have been established."
More Tips to Involve Parents from NEA's Facebook Friends
Stacey Stefanski Priestley , LaGrange, Indiana
I have meetings in Spanish just for my Hispanic parents. I talk about report cards, and how to read with their children, how to help them study, and other ways they can help their children succeed. They seem to really enjoy the time together as a group.
Christopher Roland Gusman, Plymouth, Massachusetts
We have parents who are scared of the school or intimidated by the school setting. As a result of a poll we took, the school now sends out teachers, principals, counselors, and staff to see parents at their home or place of work.
Kim Townsell, Jacksonville, Florida
Have students do exit slips about the day's lesson—written to the parents/guardians. Give bonus points or rewards for those returned signed by parents or guardians.

AbstractHave you ever been to the Grand Canyon and seen what water can do over millions of years? When you turn on the faucet, do you see water come out, or mud? In this experiment you'll find out how engineers help prevent erosion, which keeps dirt out of our water.
In this science project, you will build a model of a water channel and determine how best to prevent erosion in that channel.

Water has tremendous force, meaning it can carve into soil and even solid rock. As water carves, it picks up little bits of soil and rock and carries them away. This process is called erosion.
Practically any place where water and land meet-river banks, river bottoms, irrigation ditches, canals, shorelines, beaches, or farmland-you'll find civil and environmental engineers working hard to slow erosion. One way they slow erosion is by placing pieces of jagged rock, called riprap, on the land in or around waterways. This riprap blunts or dulls the force of the water so that it cannot break down the soil or carry it away as readily.
In this project you'll build a model of a waterway and see what kinds of riprap (fine or coarse, one layer or two) work best at keeping sand in the waterway and out of the water downstream.
Terms and Concepts
To do this type of project you should know what the following terms mean. Have an adult help you search the Internet or take you to your local library to find out more.
- Force
- Erosion
- Civil engineer
- Environmental engineer
- Riprap
- Fine
- Coarse
- Angular
- Displacement of water
- Archimedes' principle
- What size of riprap works best at slowing erosion (fine or coarse)?
- What shape of riprap works best at slowing erosion (smooth or angular)?
- Are multiple layers of riprap better than a singer layer?
- This source shows images of riprap and discusses its historical and modern uses:

Materials and Equipment
To do this experiment, you will need the following materials and equipment:
- Adjust-A-SpoutTM downspout extender, available at hardware stores or online. An alternative would be approximately 4-6 feet of a rain gutter.
- Sturdy box or stool
- Dry measuring cups
- Liquid measuring cups (4-cup size or larger), need 2. The read-from-above types are easiest to use.
- Play sand, 50 pounds
- Plastic baggies, gallon-sized (4)
- Fine gravel approximately 1/16th to 3/8 inch (shown in Figure 1), need approximately 2 gallon-sized plastic bags full
Coarse gravel, approximately ½ x ½ x 1 inch (shown in Figure 1), need approximately 2 gallon-sized plastic bags full
Figure 1. Shown here are examples of fine and coarse gravel (riprap).
- Stopwatch
- Lab notebook
- Garden hose
- Place to dump water, sand, and rocks
- Graph paper
Experimental Procedure
Set-up your materials, as shown in Figure 2, first by placing the swivel-end of the extender on the box or stool and the other end on one of the liquid measuring cups. The swivel-end of the extender should be slightly higher than the end resting on the liquid measuring cup.
Figure 2. Experimental setup.
You will be testing four types of riprap, three times each. Make a data table to record your observations, as shown below:
Riprap Type Trial 1
Water Level
Trial 2
Water Level
Trial 3
Water Level
Sum of Trials Average of Trials Control:
No Riprap, Only Sand
Sand + Fine Gravel Sand + Coarse Gravel Sand + Fine Gravel + Coarse Gravel
Sprinkle sand evenly over the gutter part of the extender, as shown below in Figure 3. The amount of sand needed to evenly cover the bottom of the gutter will depend on the length of your extender. For example, a 4-foot extender will need approximately 1 cup of sand to evenly cover the bottom, while a 6-foot extender will need almost twice that. Record in your lab notebook how much sand you used so you will remember for each trial. It is important that you use the same amount of sand each time you run a trial in the experiment.
Figure 3. Sprinkle sand evenly along the extender.
- Measure out 3 cups of water into a liquid measuring cup.
- Pour the water all at once into the swivel-end of the extender.
- Wait 3-5 minutes to allow the water to completely drain out of the gutter. The exact time you wait is not critical. Just make sure you wait the same amount of time for each trial in the experiment. Record in your lab notebook about how much time you waited so you will remember for each trial.
- Record the water level in the liquid measuring cup at the end of the extender.
- Dump and rinse out the measuring cup.
- Thoroughly rinse off the gutter.
- Repeat steps 3-9 two more times using only sand on the gutter.
Perform steps 3-9, this time using sand topped by 1 cup (or more, as needed) of evenly distributed fine gravel, as shown in Figures 4 and 5. Record in your lab notebook how much fine gravel you needed to evenly cover the sand. Be sure to use this same amount of sand and fine gravel each time you do a trial.
Figure 4. Sand topped with a layer of fine gravel in the extender.
Figure 5. Water poured all at once over the sand and fine gravel layers.
- Perform steps 3-9 three times, using sand topped by a layer of coarse gravel (evenly distributed). Record in your lab notebook how much coarse gravel you needed to evenly cover the sand. Again, make sure to use the same amount of sand and coarse gravel each time you do a trial.
- Finally, perform steps 3-9 three times with the sand topped by a layer of fine gravel, and then topped by a layer of coarse gravel (all evenly distributed). Use the same amount of sand and fine and coarse gravel for each trial, recording the amount of each in your lab notebook.
- Plot your results for each type of riprap on the graph paper. Which riprap type displaced the most water (had the highest water level reading)? This is the riprap type that did the poorest job at preventing erosion. Which riprap type displaced the least water (had the lowest water level reading)? This is the riprap that did the best job at preventing erosion in the channel. Did two layers work better than one?

Soil ScientistNot all dirt is created equal. In fact, different types of soil can make a big difference in some very important areas of our society. A building constructed on sandy soil might collapse during an earthquake, and crops planted in soil that doesn't drain properly might become waterlogged and rot after a rainstorm. It is the job of a soil scientist to evaluate soil conditions and help farmers, builders, and environmentalists decide how best to take advantage of local soils. Read more
Civil EngineersIf you turned on a faucet, used a bathroom, or visited a public space (like a road, a building, or a bridge) today, then you've used or visited a project that civil engineers helped to design and build. Civil engineers work to improve travel and commerce, provide people with safe drinking water and sanitation, and protect communities from earthquakes and floods. This important and ancient work is combined with a desire to make structures that are as beautiful and environmentally sound, as they are functional and cost-effective. Read more
Environmental EngineerEnvironmental engineers plan projects around their city or state—like municipal water systems, landfills, recycling centers, or sanitation facilities—that are essential to the health of the people who live there. Environmental engineers also work to minimize the impact of human developments, like new roads or dams, on environments and habitats, and they strive to improve the quality of our air, land, and water. Read more
Landscape ArchitectHave you ever visited a new city and marveled at how nice looking it was? Perhaps the streets were wide, the public places were well organized, and the parks and gardens were green and had lots of attractive plants. Well, what you experienced was a well-balanced and designed landscape plan put together by a landscape architect. Landscape architects design everything that is outside of buildings. Their goal is to make a design that is functional, but one that is well balanced with nature and in which people feel happy and comfortable. Landscape architecture is the perfect blend of engineering, art, and nature. Read more
- Compare smooth, round riprap vs. angular riprap.
- Compare which sequence works best in layering-fine riprap first and coarse second, or coarse riprap first and fine second.
- Add a layer of grass seed to any of the riprap types, sprinkle lightly with water, and let it grow until blades can be seen. After the grass has grown, do not water for 2-3 days and then repeat the trial to see if the addition of a plant mat does a better job at preventing erosion than riprap alone.

I am glad this was posted. I windsurfed there the next day, but only could get bits and pieces of what happened.
My hat is off to the quick-thinking, quick-acting rescuers and all those who helped in any way. Great actions!
And it is great Steve is recovering with little damage. That is such good news.

Wow glad the guy is ok! Props to the rescuers!
Here is the post from the site
"I am grateful beyond words to those who saved my uncle's life on Thursday, 9/12/13. He is someone that means a lot to me. Steve Hamman's been sailing for 20 years, is a regular in large surf, is safety-minded, and is a guy who gets-the-sessions. I'll call him the Session General of our family and has had a very big influence on me. I became aware of his status on my birthday. Suffice it to say that the last 3 days my grateful-o-meter has been redlining. On Thursday, he was wave sailing at Waddell Creek in Northern California. He was trapped under his sail in heavy shore pound and was not able to escape. He was found face-down floating with no pulse and not breathing. That's when, due to heroic efforts of Jason Wolfe, Sargon Jacob, and others whom I have yet find out their name, he was resuscitated.
Jason Wolfe and Sargon Jacob, and others who helped, I am in awe of what you did and am grateful beyond words.
Jason Wolfe's account of what saw and did: "We Were lucky yesterday. I came in on a fairly heavy wave, gave Sidwell the thumbs up and the sand came up out of nowhere because the south had walled it up really weird. Jumped off the board and slid across the sand. Decided not to go back out at that location so ran up-shore a bit to avoid the shore-pound. Saw Steve's windsurfer board floating about 50-75' out and a seal up wind of it. Realized it was no seal when the wave took him over again and my brain processed solo-board and flopping seal = drowned person... started to go in after him with the kite at that point but the waves brought him closer and I realized I needed to get rid of the kite to use both hands. Ran in 50 feet and dropped the kite screaming for help. Went back into the shore pound area, (real weird effect on the sand yesterday) and luckily the waves had brought him into the shallows pretty close so I didn't have to go far. Pulled him in and started trying to get his ass up in the air to expel the water. Lungs were full, face gray and covered in foam. I actually had the weird thought that he looked like a zombie. Once I got him in a bit and we got most of the water out I collapsed and Sargon and some other guys took over with CPR. Real tough session that lasted several minutes and we got a pulse. Un-fucking-believable. I didn't think we were bringing him back. Color came back over several minutes after the pulse cam back from ash to pink and then someone arrived with oxygen. He gave us some responses before getting carried on a board up to the ambulance, then up the hill to helicopter, then to Stanford. He seemed to realize what had happened to him when I watched him leave. Will be forever thankful that he lived for us."

Wow guys! I pray that Steve will recover fully, and will be back at Waddell soon. You rescuers did a great service to he and his family, and to all windsurfers.
I've been out at Jalama when I though I was going to die. Wondered who would have been there to save me. Most of us would have done the same thing....although maybe not as competently.

I can speculate that if you're accidentally hooked in to your harness when you go down in a large wave, you could drown. This has happened to me 4 or 5 times in the last 25 years. Even worse, you're hooked in and blasted by a wave and do a 360 twist with the harness line. I have panicked under my sail while hooked in an twisted, while churning violently in the white water.
You literally have to slow down and un-twist or pinch the twisted line off the hook. Even worse, one time my bar got locked onto the boom. That is freaking scary. You have to do a pull-up off the bar while the surf is dragging you along.

I've nearly drowned in literally 1-2 ft of water under the sail in the shore pound. If its deeper you can wriggle out, but when its shallow the sail can be exposed and the wind is still pushing on it with a lot of pressure... very freaky experience.

Not sure.
I decided to send a message to the person that shot this picture. He was kind enough to reply.
From "baseballoogie"
A Giant paper-mache Tommy Lasorda menacing visitors to the Baseball Cafe. Shot in Tokyo, Japan, on 07/03/11.
It is in a restaurant called the "Baseball Cafe" (think Hard Rock for MLB baseball), located in Tokyo Dome City. Tokyo Dome City is the shopping and entertainment district in Tokyo around the Big Egg (Tokyo Dome Stadium), home to the Tokyo Yomiuri Giants (the most popular team in Japan) and the Japanese Baseball Hall of Fame.
I have some more pictures of the Baseball Cafe in the same set as that Lasorda picture you saw. It is a combo of real and imitation baseball memorabilia, and the biggest thing is obviously that giant paper mache Lasorda that sits over the "ticket office" (cashier). There is apparently some controversy over it, as there was a letter posted underneath it from the artist saying he had Lasorda's permission to display it in the restaurant.

Next time you start bitching about your ex-boyfriend, remember this guy.
New Orleans gal Lea Finks' loser ex has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after he somehow got a restraining order against the pretty brunette barring her from her family home. He then sold off $26,000 worth off her her belongings in a garage sale.
"All I could do is sit back as I feared all of our things being sold and thrown out," Fink told the judge in a letter, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
So how did the jerk pull off the ultimate scumbag move? According to authorities, her ex, 43-year-old Vincent Castillo, lied to a judge to obtain a restraining order and a valid legal document, forcing cops to turn her away from her own home when she tried to stop the guy from selling off her own stuff —for three whole weeks.
"I had to stay away from my family home for three weeks, knowing garage sales were going on and God knows what else," she recalled.
She said the only thing she could do at the time was go around the neighborhood ripping down signs advertising the garage sale and hoping less people would show up for her sleazy ex's sale.
But Fink is getting her own revenge. Not only are prosecutors seeking $26,000 in restitution for the property the jerk sold off from her house, but due to a prior criminal record, a New Orleans judge is doubling his original sentence, extending it to 20 years. Serves him right, especially since he still face charges of stalking and violating a protective order Fink took out against HIM. He had also previously been charged with domestic battery against Fink.
The whole story makes me want to forgive my ex for not giving me back my favorite Chuck Close t-shirt. Almost.

While the rest of us enjoyed our holiday, 10 more Americans were killed in Iraq on Memorial Day, adding to the human toll of that accursed war.
While the rest of us enjoyed our holiday, 10 more Americans were killed in Iraq on Memorial Day, adding to the human toll of that accursed war.
This summer threatens to bring more such grim days, as the expanded ground forces move deeper into Baghdad neighborhoods while terrorists plant their diabolical explosive charges along the roads in outlying provinces where they know U.S. convoys will pass.
But the end is coming into view -- not soon enough to spare every precious life, but sooner than President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney might wish.
The dynamic in Congress has been set in motion that will bring this war to an end or, at least, reduce the scale of American involvement and redefine the mission for U.S. troops.
The promised September evaluation from Gen. David Petraeus, the widely trusted U.S. commander in Iraq, will be one trigger for action. He will report on the success of the "surge" strategy, and if present indications hold, he will say the military has achieved some objectives but Iraqi politics remain stuck in neutral, with sectarian divisions blocking needed reforms.
That will be the setting for a debate on the Pentagon spending bill, a time of decision. And the third trigger -- perhaps the most important -- will be the imminent approach of the 2008 election campaign.
The position of the Democratic Party in that contest is certain. Last week, 60 percent of the Democrats in the House of Representatives voted against further funding of the war -- even with the conditions their leaders had negotiated with the White House. Benchmarks requiring certain actions by the Iraqi government, with penalties in reconstruction aid if Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki fails to deliver, were not enough to persuade most Democrats to continue the war effort.
The leading Democratic presidential candidates - Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, Barack Obama of Illinois and former Sen. John Edwards -- all voted or declared for cutting off the war funding.
Beyond reasonable doubt, the Democrats will campaign in 2008 as the anti-war party, counting on support from a public which, by almost 2-to-1 margins, now says that attacking Iraq was a mistake and the war should be ended.
The question that remains for the autumn is what the Republicans will do. Their congressional members voted almost unanimously to give the president financing long enough to sustain the current offensive. All their presidential candidates except libertarian Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, who opposed the war from the start, are in lock step with the president.
But just below the surface, the GOP ground is beginning to shift. Few if any Republicans want to go into the 2008 election with 150,000 American troops still under attack in Iraq.
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the supremely realistic Republican leader of the Senate, told reporters that "the handwriting is on the wall that we are going in a different direction in the fall, and I expect the president to lead it."
Bush has hinted that he is taking a fresh look at the suggestion from the Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group that U.S. troops be reduced in numbers and redeployed to concentrate on training Iraqis and fighting al-Qaida.
He was cool to that report when it was issued in December, but he has moved on another of the Baker-Hamilton recommendations by having his ambassador in Baghdad open talks with the Iranian ambassador on the future of Iraq.
Meantime, a significant movement is developing in the Senate to make the Baker-Hamilton recommendations the official policy of the government. A resolution to that effect, co-sponsored by Democratic Sen. Ken Salazar of Colorado and Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, will be introduced in early June, with at least six other senators -- three from each party -- endorsing it.
These senators are centrists who can exert leverage on their colleagues. But the man who can do the most to catalyze the shift among Republicans is Sen. John Warner of Virginia, the widely respected former chairman of the Armed Services Committee. Colleagues say that Warner is torn between his loyalty to the president and his own deep anxiety about the course of events in Iraq. And as a former Navy secretary, he has an acute awareness of the price America's fighting men and women are paying for the policy mistakes in Iraq.
If Warner shifts, many other Republican senators will move with him, and the policy will change. I think that time is coming soon.

Building the User Interface
The next step in creating a Lisp version of the currency converter application is to construct the user interface. Apple's tutorial describes in detail how to do this.
Apple's Tutorial
Apple's tutorial explains how to use InterfaceBuilder to create the user interface, and how to use XCode to create project files and write Objective-C code. Our project uses Lisp instead of Objective-C, and does not use XCode project files, so you can skip the part of Apple's tutorial that explains how to use XCode.
Using InterfaceBuilder to Create the UI
We'll begin by using Apple's InterfaceBuilder application to create a nibfile. The nibfile contains archived versions of the Objective-C objects that define the application's user interface. When you launch an application, Mac OS X uses the archived objects in the nibfile to create the windows and menus you see on the screen.
Start by locating Apple's InterfaceBuilder application. If you installed Apple's Developer Tools, InterfaceBuilder should be in the folder "/Developer/Applications/?":
NOTE: If you have not installed Apple's Developer Tools, you should do that now. You will not be able to build the CurrencyConverter example without them. The Developer Tools are distributed as an optional install with Mac OS X 10.5 ("Leopard"). Look for the "XCode Tools" package in the "Optional Installs" folder on the Mac OS 10.5 install disk.
Once you have located InterfaceBuilder, double-click to launch the application. InterfaceBuilder presents a window you can use to choose a template for the nibfile you are going to create.
Click the "Application" icon and then click the "Choose" button to create an application nibfile. InterfaceBuilder creates a new application nibfile, but doesn't immediately save it. The Objective C objects that represent the new application's interface appear in a new untitled window:

June 29th is National Almond Butter Crunch Day. Almond butter is a great way to get that good, healthy fat. There are many varieties of almond butter on the market and most of them are gluten-free.
- Barney Butter
- Maranantha Almond Butter
- Blue Diamond Almond Butter
- Justin's Almond Butter
- Naturally Nutty Almond butter
- Trader Joe's Almond Butter
All of the above listed almond butters are very good, but if I had to choose my favorite, I would have to go with Trader Joe's. Trader Joe's is not only the least expensive at $4.99/16 oz jar, but it comes in a few varieties – creamy with sea salt, crunchy, unsalted, raw crunchy and raw crunchy unsalted. I love them all!
Almond butter can be used in any recipe in place of peanut butter. It is great on toast, rice cakes, waffles or just eaten out of the jar. Ever dip a raw carrot in almond butter? If not, add that to your list of things to do before you die.
All of the above listed almond butters can be found in the Columbus area. Trader Joe's is located at Easton or on Sawmill Rd. Raisin Rack carries Barney Butter, Maranantha and Justin's almond butters. The Hills Market in Worthington carries Naturally Nutty Toffee Almond Butter. Blue Diamond almond butter can be found in most mainstream grocery stores.

Business consultant and former vice-presidential speechwriter Dan Pink took the stage at FPA Experience 2013 on Saturday afternoon in Orlando to defend salesman and selling. Pink, author of To Sell is Human, began by noting three ingredients in any effective presentation.
"They are brevity, levity and repetition; let me say that one more time," he said to laughter. "I'm going to leave you with two insights and six takeaways."
The first insight, he explained, is that "like it or not, we're all in sales."
"During the dot-com bubble, management consultants said salespeople would be 'disintermediated;' that's consultant speak for removing them from the interaction because they're gumming up the works. In 2000, about one in nine people in the labor force were in sales. Guess what? In 2013, that number is still one in nine — so much for that."
That number holds true pretty much around the globe, he added, noting that in the EU it's about 13% and in Japan it is one in eight.
"All the rest that aren't in sales are in sales," he argued. "It's just not with a cash register and money changing hands. Sales is convincing someone to give up something they value in exchange for something you are offering; it could be their commitment, zeal time, or anything else. You are trying to move someone to take action, so the definition it's broader than simply producers and consumers."
When people are informed they're in sales even if they don't realize it, they have one of two reactions: "The first is they like it, the second is 'or not.'"
Noting a survey he conducted on the perception of salespeople among the public, he noted that of the top 25 most popular answers, 20 were negative and only five were positive or could be considered positive.
"That's astonishing. In no other profession, like medicine or accounting, do you find that? Yet we're all involved in selling to some degree."
The negative perception, he said, is outdated. It stemmed from the seller having an information advantage over the buyer, which often led to the latter's abuse and was the origin of the phrase "buyer beware." Announcing his second insight, he said technology has rendered the advantage moot, and it has moved from an asymmetrical sales environment to information parity.
"It's now 'seller beware;' if you try and rip someone off, they'll find out and they have the resources to tell everyone," he said. "'Seller beware' is different in kind rather than degree from 'buyer beware.'"
He found it shocking that elite business schools do not teach sales, but rather sales management. Referencing Alec Baldwin's character in "Glengarry Glen Ross," he said ABC no longer stands for "Always be closing."
"Today, I would argue that the A stands for attachment, meaning effective 'perspective taking' can get you out of your own head to see an issue from someone else's point of view in order to find common ground. The B stands for buoyancy; how does one stay afloat in an ocean of rejection and how do you prepare for, and handle, encounters with other? The last, C, stands for clarity; we are awash in information. The advantage of getting it early doesn't apply anymore. Now it's all about how well you contextualize it for others. It's not about solving existing problems; it's about identifying hidden problems they didn't know they had."
He added that power leads people to accept their vantage point over others, noting that high-powered people in organizations are especially bad at it, whereas low-powered people are good at it because it is a key to their survival.
He then concluded with his six takeaways for effective selling.
1. Increase you effectiveness by briefly reducing your feelings of power.
2. Use your head as much as your heart. Although clients want emotional intelligence from their advisor, they also want solid analytical skills.
3. Negotiators who mimicked opponents' mannerisms were more likely to create a deal that benefited both parties. He noted waitresses that repeated an order back to a customer word-for-word received 70% more in tips that those that did not.
4. Be an "ambivert." An ambivert is someone who is not an extreme introvert or extrovert, rather somewhere in between. They know when to push someone and when to hold back and when to talk and when to listen.
5. Questions (often) beat statements when the facts are on your side. They allow the client to reach your conclusion on his own.
6. Changing minds matters less than giving someone an easy way to take action. For instance, auto-enrollment has led to a "skyrocketing increase" in 401(k) contributions.

It�s easier than ever to score deals on clothing and accessories, according to ShopSmart, the shopping magazine from the publisher of Consumer Reports. Sales and coupons are everywhere, and there�s always something marked down online. But shoppers can do even better if they know how to work all the angles.
�It�s easy to save money on clothes at end-of-season sales. But if you use smart strategies, you can save money on clothes at the beginning of the season when they have the colors you like and the sizes that you need,� said Lisa Lee Freeman, editor-in-chief of ShopSmart.
�Sign up for sales alerts. Most retailers have regular email alerts that let shoppers know about sales (in-store and online), discount codes, contests and more.
�Grab coupons. Never check out (virtually or in person) without searching for a coupon or a promo code to get a discount or free shipping. RetailMeNot.com is a good first stop.
�Scour online clearance racks. Many retailers offer deeply discounted items in sale sections on their websites, which can be a lot easier to go through than store racks.
�Try eBay. If you want a specific item (used or new) � say a little black dress from your favorite designer in size 10 � you might find it on eBay for a steal.
�Be loyal. If stores you shop have a free loyalty card, sign up to save. A good one: The Shop Your Way Rewards card nets you savings at Kmart, Lands� End and Sears.
�Be a follower. Connect with your favorite retailers and brands on Twitter and Facebook, and you can get the first scoop on the latest sales, plus tip-offs to upcoming special promotions.
�Target is a great place to shop for lingerie as their selection of underthings ranges from sexy to sporty. Recently, the store partnered with designer Josie Natori to create a line of loungewear and intimates with her east-meets-west sensibility. Gilligan & OMalley�s bras, which start around $10, have done well in ShopSmart�s tests.
How to Save: Check DailyDeals.Target.com for one great discounted item every day with free shipping, and follow TargetDeals on Twitter.
�J.C. Penney is a good source for trendy, low-budget tops and dresses � and designers are putting a fab twist on everyday basics for the low-priced retailer. New nicole by Nicole Miller pieces include easy-to-wear silhouettes in inspired prints.
How to Save: The store�s Fair and Square pricing puts seasonal items on sale each month for the entire month (think bathing suits in July) and marks down clearance items to the lowest possible price � on the first and third Friday of each month.
�Old Navy offers an ultra-affordable workout wear line called Active by Old Navy that includes enough styles and colors to make you want to suit up and hit the gym. The GoDRY tanks and T-shirts ($14.94 to $16.94) wick away moisture, and the compression shorts help hold everything in.
How to Save: Shipping is always free for orders of $50 or more, and you can combine Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, Piperlime and Athleta orders.
�Amazon (amazon.com/fashion) offers a huge selection on clothing items and carries duds from brands like Alice & Olivia and Tracy Reese.
�DesignerApparel (designerapparel.com) is a great site for finding sales on high-end designer clothing. Shoppers can use this site to see where clothes by their favorite designers, from Alaia to Yves Saint Laurent, are marked down online.
�Refashioner (refashioner.com) is best for scoring vintage items. This eco-friendly fashion community is a gold mine of secondhand garments.
�Linda�s Stuff (stores.ebay.com/Lindas-Stuff) is an eBay consignment store filled with lots of gently used gems and fab items from fashion-forward ladies around the world looking to make a return on their stylish investments.

'Lincoln' movie premieres in Lincoln at Lincoln Theater 4
Send a link to a friend
[November 08, 2012]
Lincoln Theater 4 will present
Steven Spielberg's latest epic, "Lincoln," beginning on Nov. 16.
This movie, which was more than 10 years in the making, stars Daniel
Day-Lewis as U.S. President Abraham Lincoln and Sally Field as Mary
Todd Lincoln. Evening shows and activities are planned for opening
night, allowing the community named for Lincoln by Lincoln to come
out and enjoy history as it comes alive on the big screen.
The film
is based on "Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham
Lincoln," a biography by Doris Kearns Goodwin. The movie covers a
four-month period at the end of Lincoln's life as the president
attempts to get Congress to pass the 13th Amendment, abolishing
slavery. The film's release coincides with the 150th anniversary of
the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation.
The opening night of "Lincoln" in Lincoln will be a grand
red-carpet affair, as moviegoers attending the 5 p.m. show are
greeted by Lincoln and the Lady, portrayed by Chris Hotz and Deborah
Senger of Timeless Presentations. Timeless Presentations was created
in 2008 by the two of them, originally as Abe and Mary Lincoln,
featuring walks, step-on tours, presentations and appearances as an
avenue to provide historic entertainment for central Illinois.
Together they share a striking resemblance to the famous couple and
will greet guests entering the historic Lincoln Theater 4. Everyone
is invited to dress in period attire, and photo opportunities will
be available with President Lincoln and the first lady along the red
carpet prior to entering the theater to enjoy the movie. Lincoln and
the Lady will also be on hand to greet guests and for photos prior
to the 8 p.m. showing.
Lincoln Theater 4 was built in 1923 and has had multiple owners
over the years until Lincoln native David Lanterman purchased it in
January 2011. The largest of the four theaters seats about 175, with
the others approximately 130. Lanterman has been busy changing the
theater technology from 35-millimeter film into a digital format,
which was completed in March.
[to top of second column]
Patrons of the Nov. 16 showing at Lincoln Theater 4 can receive
information that night detailing the unique connection of Abraham
Lincoln to the city of Lincoln and can obtain special gift offers
courtesy of the Lincoln Heritage Museum and Postville Courthouse.
Lincoln Heritage Museum will also hand out information regarding
an event on Nov. 28. As a follow-up to the weekend premiere of the
movie's release, there will be an opportunity to further explore the
film's historical merit and accuracy. Local Abraham Lincoln
historians Paul Beaver, Ron Keller and Anne Suttles will present a
panel discussion on Nov. 28 at 7 p.m. at the museum for a reflection
and discussion of the "Lincoln" film. This question-and-answer
session will give moviegoers an opportunity to discuss and dissect
this film masterpiece. The panel discussion will be free and open to
the public.
"Lincoln" showtimes of 2 p.m., 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. will be
highlighted in local media listings and at Lincoln Theater 4 online
at www.lincolntheater4.com.
For additional information, contact the Abraham Lincoln Tourism
Bureau of Logan County at 217-732-8687 or

The most effective, economical, and ecologically sound method of managing invasive plants is to prevent their invasion in the first place. Resources can be spent most efficiently on proactive activities that focus on stopping the movement of plant seeds and other reproductive parts to new areas.
Seeds can also be transferred in animal manure if the animal has recently ingested invasive plants in infested feed or while grazing. These seeds and plant parts can then reproduce and colonize a previously uninfested area --- and if left unchecked, cause damage to wildlife habitat, endangered and threatened species, watershed health, agriculture and recreational opportunities.
Certified weed free forage is produced and available for sale in California. County Agricultural Commissioners, in conjunction with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), offer inspection services to certify weed free forage materials, which are defined as "hay, feed, straw or straw mulch that has been inspected, and certified not to contain propagative plant parts or seeds of noxious weeds".
The inspections are completed for species listed on the CDFA noxious weeds list. The inspection and certification of hay and straw products maximizes the probability that invasive plant seeds/parts are not present and that the materials are weed free. An inspection processes cannot reduce the risk to zero, nor are these materials inspected for invasive weeds not listed on the California noxious weed list.
A list of vendors with certified weed free forage materials for sale is available at:
CDFA/Interior Pest Exclusion: http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/plant/pe/InteriorExclusion
California Invasive Plant Council: http://www.cal-ipc.org/ip/prevention/index.php
Additional notes:
- Land managers needing a large amount of material for the coming year, should contact vendors early in the growing season to make sure sufficient weed free forage/straw will be certified and available for project needs.
- Proof of certification, in the form of a copy of CDFA Form 66-079 "Certificate of Quarantine Compliance (CQC)" associated with the inspection of the specific forage/straw materials, is the legal documentation verifying that the materials have been inspected.
- Producers seeking weed free certification for hay and straw products should contact your local County Agriculture Commissioner's office to arrange inspection and certification. Contact information is available at: http://www.cdfa.ca.gov/exec/county/county_contacts.html
- Weed-free forage inspection procedures "184.108.40.206 Inspection of Forage: Growing, Bales or Other Products for Noxious Weeds" (Section 4-39) are available at: http://phpps.cdfa.ca.gov/PE/INTERIOREXCLUSION/CPTM/pdf/Section4.pdf
John Griffen
Division Forester, Jackson State Forest, CalFire
The list is available on the California Invasive Plant Council on the "Prevention Page' --- direct link is:
And please fix the link for the listed vendors and keep the list updated. An outdated list hidden in another webpage provided in a comment response reinforces the idea that this is not a topic to take seriously.
How much?
Nolan 916 601 8372
Rice vendors may be found primarily on the first list. Growers on the list usually have something like "Ranch" associated with the name.
For those not able to find it locally, consider calling a local vendor and asking them if they would carry the product. They can review the list and find producers from which to order the material.
Good luck~

The Quakes hit the training pitch early this morning in Chigwell at Spurs Lodge in the cold, biting London air. Today's session focused on possession and quick touches for the most part, and there was a lot of time spent going to goal.
Keep-away and 6v6 in a small space eventually built up to the 6v6 attacking goal. The orange team, comprised of Jason Hernandez, Javier Robles, Quincy Amarikwa, Brad Ring, Justin Morrow and Ramon Sanchez dominated the drill on this day, winning three straight matches. Robles teamed up with Amarikwa to score a pair of goals on the day, including a very nice link-up that saw Amarikwa break through on goal, beat the goalkeeper to the touchline, and feed the ball to Robles who tapped it into the open net.
The biggest highlight from training though had to be a world-class save from Joe Cannon, robbing rookie defender Justin Morrow of an almost certain goal. Cannon leaped just in time to the top corner to parry the header just over the bar. This save created a lot of buzz on the pitch from the players, as well as staff.
The Quakes then had the afternoon off on Saturday to go and check out some of the local Barclay's English Premier League and Coca Cola Championship fixtures. Most of the players attended Arsenal's 3-1 win over Burnley at the Emirates, while the coaching staff took in Queen's Park Rangers' 3-1 win over promotion candidate West Bromwich Albion in London.
Some quick notes; the three opponents for San Jose's matches on their trip in London have been confirmed. Monday, the Quakes travel to Upton Park to take on West Ham United at 2 p.m. GMT. Wednesday, San Jose will take on Tottenham Hotspur at Spurs Lodge, which is tentatively set for an 11 a.m. kickoff. Finally, the Earthquakes will play fellow MLS side, Colorado Rapids on Friday, time and site have yet to be determined. Make sure to keep checking back at www.sjearthquakes.com and our new YouTube page for updates on the trip in London.
